How to open VS3 file?
The most common problem when using VSampler is that a specific VS3 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that VS3 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VS3 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install MAZ Sound Tools VSampler
In this case, you should first verify that the MAZ Sound Tools VSampler application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MAZ Sound Tools VSampler into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VS3 files.
Programs to open VS3 file
Remember to download programs supporting VS3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MAZ Sound Tools VSampler with VS3 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VS3 file still does not use the MAZ Sound Tools VSampler program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MAZ Sound Tools VSampler application as the default for handling the VS3 file.
Step 3. Update MAZ Sound Tools VSampler to the latest version
If, however, after binding MAZ Sound Tools VSampler with VSampler there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MAZ Sound Tools GmbH page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VS3 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VS3 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VS3 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VS3 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VS3 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VS3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VS3 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the VS3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VS3 file again. However, some background programs may block the VS3 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
